Coffee Story

Description

This is the Mocha Java Blend brought to you by Equator Coffees & Teas. The Mocha Java blend name comes from two of the original ports where coffee was traded: the port of Mocha in Yemen and the port of Java in the Indonesian archipelago. The coffees from Ethiopia and Indonesia creates a cup with dynamic and complex flavors of aged cedar, deep fruit, bittersweet chocolate and spice.

This blend is solid for my taste buds. It's smooth and something I could drink everyday. If the mocha flavor was bolder this would be 5 stars for me.

Ken

Aroma was just right. But the taste was kind of flat.

1/7/2017

Justin

Seemed stale

1/6/2017

Jill

LOVED this roast!

12/18/2016

Grant

it's alright, my GF liked it but i wasn't a huge fan. I just dont like chocolate that much

12/8/2016

Ethan

Brighter and interesting.

11/29/2016

Stuart

We also like this blend a lot. The coffee was strong and not bitter, with a good feel. The roast was dark as well.

11/23/2016

George

Dried out beans, bitter taste

11/15/2016

Patrick

Rich flavor. Can really taste the chocolate notes. Nice medium roast.

11/7/2016

Gregory

Not bad, not amazing. Medium - light feel

11/7/2016

Anna

Outstanding! One of the best I've had.

11/7/2016

Jeff

This was ok. Not great. Found ourselves waiting for this bag to finish so we could try another variety.

11/5/2016

Tara

Liked it, but not among my favorites.

11/4/2016

Kyler

I was initially hesitant about the two blends in this sampler, but then got a little interested in seeing how it would taste on my v60--I usually just throw a blend on the auto-drip. The blend wasn't bad, but definitely not as "fun" as many single origins I'll have on a pour over. But glad I finally got to toss a blend into the filter and pour some h2o over it!

11/2/2016

My least favorite of the four I tried, not what I expected from a mocha Java blend

11/1/2016

Juliet

definitely smooth, definitely complex. I get the bittersweet chocolate flavor as well

11/1/2016

Dave & Beth

Medium body, big flavor. Toasty, nutty, and great flavor with a little bit of acidity.

10/27/2016

Eric

Smooth, not acidic, flavorful

10/23/2016

Joe

Nothing to write home about. Weak taste and aroma

10/22/2016

Tony

Good coffee, but probably not ideal for rich bold french press.

10/22/2016

Jon and Sanna

I have never had a chocolately light roast coffee before but I enjoyed it!

10/18/2016

Conor

Might be my favorite so far. Tasted really smooth and a really nice after taste

10/16/2016

Ashley

Yum!

10/11/2016

Haley

I enjoyed this, was nice and smooth. A bit bitter with that woodsy taste, but very drinkable.

10/10/2016

Farhad

A bit underwhelming. Maybe my expectations were too high or maybe I have not correctly stated my preferences.

10/3/2016

Bilal

This teetered on the line between too "dark" and good for me.

10/3/2016

Rachel

I really didn't like it. Tasted almost like a dark roast. My husband loves it. But it's my fault because I requested this coffee. Typically love this roaster.

9/30/2016

Gaetano

Very nice taste. Smooth with no aftertaste.

9/28/2016

Kayla

I thought this was my favorite sample that I received , it had a good taste.

9/26/2016

Hugh

Too dark and stale

9/24/2016

David

I may have brewed it a bit too strong, but this was interesting and complex, if I were making coffee ice cream I'd use this. It may have been a bit too bitter.

9/24/2016

Elissa

Not a fan. Thin and bland.

9/23/2016

Flor Marie & Umair

Too dark, but has subtle notes

9/19/2016

Joe

Full and complex, earthy flavors . Thumbs up!

9/16/2016

Will

Dark and heavy. Packed a punch and a small cup gave me a nice evening boost.

9/15/2016

The

Not bad, I prefer fruity and juicy accents.

9/14/2016

Michele

Very full mouth feel, but, somehow weak & acidic at the same time. I tried multiple grind settings, but none made it better. Perhaps this was stale.

9/11/2016

Bradford

Very nice cup, citrus and smoke, well balanced

9/10/2016

Gabi & Mike

too bitter or strong, not sure

9/10/2016

Matthew

Very good, full taste. I enjoyed the chocolate aspect to it!

9/6/2016

Least favorite of the four. Too lite in taste and color

9/4/2016

Emily

good but doesn't have the kick i like with coffee. the taste was a bit mild.

8/29/2016

James

Nice strength without bitterness.

8/28/2016

Mary Ann

liked this a lot. brewed in french press, drank it with hot milk no sugar, and also iced.

8/24/2016

Amy & Derek

My husband and I received a sample pack of four and this was our top favorite! It's very smooth and a nice medium/dark blend. We usually love dark coffee, but this one was very balanced and had a hint of chocolate!

8/23/2016

Amy & Matt

I like the flavors of this coffee. It was a little on the bitter side, could have been smoother, but overall was flavorful and full.

8/23/2016

Taylor

Dark. Bold. Smooth. Yet still sweet. Very easy to drink. I was surprised when I tasted the berry sweetness come through. I like this one a lot. Out of the four in this box, this one's the winner!

8/22/2016

Kurtis

Not as flavorful as I thought it would be.

8/13/2016

Matt

Wood tastes and aromas. Lacks acidity.

8/11/2016

Jade

Amazing coffee, loved everything about this one, great crema and flavor

8/10/2016

Julia

Loved this one. My favorite thus far. Very smooth and rich!

8/8/2016

Sahil

This is my current favorite. The chocolate flavors are just the right amount and the spices blend well with the overall tone of the coffee!

8/8/2016

Maggie & Danny

Favorite of the bunch. Will purchase again

8/7/2016

Alishiya

Very balanced, not bitter, also darker roast than my typical choice, but pleasantly surprising. Very tasty from both V60 and Aeropress.

8/5/2016

Tao

It's ok. Nothing special.

8/2/2016

Andrew and Brittany

Fairly high acid for the roast.

7/31/2016

Ken

Really delicious! I liked the Columbia a bit better which is the only reason I gave this a 4-star. Would definitely get this again!

7/29/2016

denisha

I liked this blend, taste.

7/28/2016

Kristena & David

Very delicious dark roast.

7/28/2016

Mark

Excellent!

7/26/2016

Jacob

Favorite blend so far. Love the chocolate notes combined with the spice. Good balance between medium and dark for me. I had the best results on the Aeropress

7/23/2016

Larry

Very tasty coffee, complex from start to finish, a cup that is balanced but not boring, bringing together notes of fruit, woodiness, chocolate, and spice. It's a coffee you want to try again right away.

7/21/2016

Jenna

was a little to fruity/bright for my taste...still good though!

7/21/2016

Sondos

Rich, dark, and complex. My favorite of the four sample blends

7/20/2016

Jonathan

Really enjoyed the dark complex big flavor.

7/16/2016

April

Not a fan of chocolate in my coffee but this wasn't bad. The only thing I don't like more than chocolate in my coffee is spices. Flavor was to complex to enjoy. 3 stars for making a chocolate coffee almost enjoyable.

7/12/2016

Joann

Bland.

7/12/2016

Michael

Too acidic

7/11/2016

Ronnie

Didn't find this one to have a distinctive character. Was only ok

7/9/2016

Mark

Enjoyable blend. More toward the dark side for my tastes, but still a medium range coffee.

7/8/2016

Jeremy

Too dark...chocolate flavor masks everything else but not in a good way

7/7/2016

Justin

Very rich, bold that reminds me of a good cigar

7/4/2016

Wanda

Nice flavor , but not rich enough.

7/4/2016

Michael

Definitely getting the full fruit/spice mix that would be good with a fruit Danish and good breakfast coffee. Did not get the bittersweet flavor come across too much was more as an after taste but subtle. Brewed in Chemex this time, will try next cup in French press.

7/4/2016

Grace

Little bitter for our taste

7/4/2016

Harry

delicious. the only flavor note that was missing was nuttiness. the best of the 4.

7/4/2016

Joe

This coffee is a symphony of flavor- smooth and elegant. An instant favorite!

7/3/2016

John

Very nicely balanced, and complex. Just the right roast of not too dark, not too light. Drinkable and a good morning coffee.

7/3/2016

Louis

mild good with french press

6/30/2016

Lyn

good blend and will consider for future purchase

6/30/2016

Deborah

I loved this one too!

6/30/2016

Stephen

A solid West Coast roaster and this Mocha Java is good but does not exceed.

6/29/2016

Ben

Excellent roast for a press pot. Typical balance of a Moka Java, with the earth and vegetal African coffee flavors being offset by the deeper, richer flavors of the Indonesian coffee. Nicely done.

6/29/2016

Allen

Nice chocolaty flavor with no bitter after taste.

6/26/2016

Stanley

enjoyable blend

6/25/2016

kelsey

Too light for my tastes

6/24/2016

Marshall

Did not like

6/23/2016

Jordan

Favorite. Flavorful and smooth.

6/23/2016

Scott

Definitely better than the Corsica blend, much more complex and interesting and definitely less bitter.

6/22/2016

Scott

a bit thin

6/22/2016

Mark

I thought the body was weak. I appreciated the low aciditiy but I didn't feel that the chocolate flavors came through strong enough. I did note, however, that the dark fruit flavors became more pronounced with subsequent sips.

6/21/2016

Nick

Pretty good, typically prefer bolder coffee though

6/21/2016

Dale

No Mocha flavor, just bad coffee.

6/20/2016

MARK

Really nice chocolately flavors

6/19/2016

Brenda

Nice cocoa tones with nutmeg after taste.

6/17/2016

Jeremy

Blond color, very light flavor

6/16/2016

Eleanor

Really liked this one, at all temperatures throughout the tasting process. It's got a lot of pungent flavors, but still even enough that it's not over top. Would love this to be a regular coffee that I drink.

6/16/2016

Anthony

**edit. This is a 5/5. My favorite of the discovery box** Yes. This is a coffee I could drink everyday. Smooth, creamy, a soft sweetness.

6/15/2016

Rachelle & Brian

Brian and I both found this blend to be bitter, almost sour at times. We are not big fans of fruity coffees and I think this may be one of those kinds.

6/15/2016

Rick

Good

6/14/2016

Eugene

I really enjoyed the complexity of this coffee and it's deep notes. It has a nice smoothness to it and a pleasing sweetness with out being "sour" or "bright"

6/13/2016

Sarah & David

Chocolatey and nutty. Pretty good!

6/13/2016

Christian

Really tasty and enjoyable! :D

6/13/2016

Jill

I hate the bitter aftertaste of this coffee.

6/12/2016

Karlen

Delicious coffee - fruity blueberry notes. Medium roast, smooth body. I prefer a darker roast, so I blend this with italian to get a bit stronger brew.

6/11/2016

SYLVIA H

Love the rich bold flavor

6/10/2016

John

Excellent

6/10/2016

Kevin

This was my favorite of the variety pack. Very nice

6/9/2016

Margaret

This coffee was ok, not as good as the Corsica blend which I liked best so far. It was still a little weak for my liking.

6/8/2016

Drew

Smooth, clean, very enjoyable!

6/8/2016

R Wesley

An enjoyable medium roast, very flavorful, but couldn't tell why this would normally be sold at a higher price point than the other coffees in my Discovery Box sampler.

6/6/2016

Rita

excellent brew

6/6/2016

Jake

3 of 4

6/5/2016

Kate

A lovely complex coffee

6/4/2016

The

BEST COFFEE EVER

6/2/2016

David

Wasn't crazy about it at first but it really grew on me. I like the strong flavor.

6/1/2016

Alicia

Really liked it! Great flavor! Not too bold!My favorite so far!

5/31/2016

Jarrod

Really well balanced. Full bodied. Very very pleasant.

5/30/2016

brian

Pretty good blend! I like more single origin roasts but this didn't disappoint.

5/30/2016

Tracy

This coffee was quite good, suite with some chocolate notes. The hint of nutmeg wasn't as much of a favorite at our house, but we still enjoyed it a lot.

5/29/2016

Marla

PREFER DARK ROAST

5/27/2016

Sarah

It was okay. A little brighter than my preference. I didn't care for the fruity notes, though I did like the chocolatey notes.

5/27/2016

Micheline

Nice rich flavor.

5/26/2016

Christina

Smooth and rich. Great coffee for morning or afternoon.

5/26/2016

Barbara

Had good flavor and smooth

5/25/2016

Jacob

The fragrance of chocolate was definitely there during the grind, but wasn't totally present in the brew. It took me a couple tries to dial it in. I would say smoky (in a okay way) chocolate. Not offensive, but not great.

5/25/2016

Wai Ho

Didn't like the flavour, a bit too smokey for my taste.

5/22/2016

Diane

Strong and flavorful. Good cup of coffee.

5/22/2016

Michael

We like this one the best.

5/19/2016

Timothy

I liked the smell of the beans when they were ground. The taste is a little weak. I'm a fan of strong black coffee and this one didn't come thru for me

5/19/2016

Adriene

Good, a little bitter

5/18/2016

Devin

I like the nutty flavor

5/17/2016

Joni

Good balance. Could be more complex.

5/17/2016

Linda

very smoky. not much chocolate flavor.Not decaf, as ordered so I can't drink it.

5/17/2016

Judy

strong, bitter

5/17/2016

Elizabeth

Bleh! Much to bittersweet chocolate-forward. Nothing interesting on the back end. Very dark, bitter, unsavory.

5/16/2016

Drew

Sorry, I did not like this.

5/16/2016

Michael

Very smooth coffee. Thought it would be a bit dark or chocolately for me but it was smooth and delicate.

5/15/2016

Jeffrey

Good coffee. Nice medium roast with a subtle hint of chocolate on the back end. Very smooth finish, not bitter at all. Would buy again

5/14/2016

Joseph

A little sharp & smokey. Good. Not great

5/14/2016

Terry

Best of the four

5/14/2016

Larry

very intense, not very complex but a good better than basic cup

5/13/2016

Michelle

Great taste but a little on the light side.

5/11/2016

Arielle

Really nice, rich flavor without being overpowering

5/11/2016

Jeremy

One of my favorites in the discovery box

5/8/2016

Cassie

This was more on the bitter side and had a lot going on! I used about 2 Tbs of beans.

5/8/2016

Randi

Was absolutely delicious.

5/6/2016

Mitchell

OMG this is amazing! I loved the semi-sweet/bitter chocolate flavors. I'm not one for sweet things but this hit the spot! I loved the smooth finish and aftertaste of this blend. I think this is what I am going for with a coffee bean!

5/3/2016

Diana

Like that this is dark but not too dark, really nice spice flavor.

5/2/2016

Scotty

I like the blend. Most Ethiopia coffees have a sharp taste. Don't taste a lot of chocolate but a great cup none the less!

5/1/2016

Andrew

Solid cup, nice body. Has a bit of a bitter, almost sour flavor that I can't quite put my finger on. It's not bad but it's not great either.

4/30/2016

Liuyi

This is awesome, just the right blend of earthiness and fruitiness

4/26/2016

Liuyi

This is awesome, just the right blend of earthiness and fruitiness

4/26/2016

Benjamin

This coffee tastes yummy! It's sweet and delicious and I haven't ever had a coffee that tastes like this before.

4/25/2016

Geri

Very favorable. More body than anodyne. Still getting used to using a grinder so I'm placing more fault on my shoulders.

4/25/2016

Erica & Benjamin

Loved this the best

4/24/2016

Lance

This one had a good balance of earthiness with the chocolate/spice notes. One of my two favorites in the discovery box

4/24/2016

Ron

Nice chocolate hints, deep flavor.

4/24/2016

Rich and Kathy

Good, but a bit light for me, although Kathy liked it quite a bit.

4/23/2016

John

M-J is one of my favorite coffee blends. This well balanced expression has moderate acids and bitterness and filling mouth feel under notes of nuts and berries. I didn't notice the chocolate flavors that are common in Mocha Java, but I liked it.

4/23/2016

Angel

I loved this coffee. It was rich and smooth. I loved the strong flavor and the after taste.

4/22/2016

chris

Quite a bit of spice that gives it a lot of character. Bitter chocolate, floral elements.

4/16/2016

Lance

Smooth cup, low-medium mouthfeel, low acidity. Was easy to drink, but aside from some milk chocolate notes, not much to comment on.

4/14/2016

Dilon & Megan

A great, full bodied coffee. I'd drink it everyday, but the single origins we tried in comparison were better suited for my wife.

4/12/2016

Thomas

Finally a good cup of coffee in my 4 pack sample, not bad.

4/11/2016

Michael

This one knocked me right in the face...which is exactly what I'm looking for in a cup of coffee. The chocolate comes across, but not as much as the earthier flavors. Best cup of coffee I have had in a very long time.

4/11/2016

Denise and

We prefer a darker blend with stronger acidity.

4/10/2016

Chris

not good. no flavor

4/8/2016

Tyler

Brewed in a Chemex and V60; was able to note some distinct spice and muted fruit notes. Would probably make a good espresso shot, but I am waiting for delivery of my machine!

4/4/2016

Debbie

Liked the flavor

4/4/2016

Johnny

Very good idea, good blend. Nice.

4/3/2016

Aaron

Wasn't impressed with this blend.

4/2/2016

Marisol

Overwhelming smokiness. Muddy and bitter

4/1/2016

William

Quite smooth and balanced cup. Enjoyed wood and chocolate flavors.

3/27/2016

Wei-Lun

Bitter

3/25/2016

Justin

Loved this one!

3/21/2016

Valeria

this coffee was not significantly memorable - decent rpast

3/20/2016

Santiago

Good! Had a nice spicy taste to it.

3/19/2016

Jason

Very good. Smooth, but not overly complex to me.

3/18/2016

Tom

Really enjoyed this coffee. Very complex, berry like aftertaste. Had nice mouthfeel and a good, everyday coffee.

3/13/2016

Kai

This medium roast tastes darker than I expected. The notes are more towards dark chocolates and nuts than fruitness. Very low acidity.

3/13/2016

Brian Lissa

Better than the Topeca but still wouldn't choose this as it is too light.

3/11/2016

Bill

Mocha Java's are always a gamble. I've had a few other Equator coffees I absolutely enjoyed but this wasn't a success. I tried a few different pour over methods but could not escape the wood notes to in any of the cups. I was hoping for more out of it.

3/9/2016

Gary & Brenda

Good flavor and smooth finish, but a bit mild for our taste.

3/6/2016

Jeffrey

Good coffee, would like either a darker roast or a lighter roast. Good taste, too medium

3/3/2016

Brent

Still a great cup of coffee, but nothing really stood out for me. If you like normal coffee, you'll probably love this.

2/29/2016

Melissa

My subscription just started and this is my favorite cup so far!

2/27/2016

Brent

Way too dark for my preference. The roast level began to overpower the earthyness of the Indonesian and mask the fruitiness of the Ethiopia.

2/26/2016

Glenn

The spice notes overwhelmed this and unbalanced the flavor in a way I didn't enjoy much.

2/25/2016

Evan

This one wasn't my favorite either but I still thought It had a good flavor.

2/24/2016

Edward

a little heavy but drinhable

2/24/2016

Derek

This is terrible. Taste burnt and reminds me of a classy starbucks

2/24/2016

Meghan

This coffee surprised me with liking the taste and aroma or sweet berries and darkness blended together. I Amaya drink an Americano at my fav shop and it's a medium caramel, orange/cherry, cocoa kind of description in its blend, and while this was darker and different fruit essence, I liked it

2/22/2016

Evan

This one was really good, and I enjoy the light flavor of it. It wasn't too light, but not too dark.

2/21/2016

Matthew-Jordan

Liked a lot!

2/21/2016

Joseph

This was a solid cup. While not my absolute favorite, I would highly recommend.

2/20/2016

Virginia

FIRST CHOICELoved this blend great flavor smooth coffeeloved the chocolate flavor

2/18/2016

Rob

This was my second favorite, media with nice chocolate note.

2/17/2016

Greg

so smooth and round a real treat my favorite of the four samples

2/16/2016

Zina and Jeffrey

A decent cup of coffee. I would drink this again but not actively buy it.

Not a bad coffee by any stretch, just not what I would reach for if I had other options. While smooth and rich, it was a little darker and roastier than ideal for me. Did a 22/348 dose on the Kalita Wave in a little over 4 min with water just off boil. Maybe a lower temp would do this one well.

2/10/2016

JOHN

Just what we like - dark and rich. Chocolatey a bonus.

2/9/2016

The

I don't really like the fruit taste.

2/9/2016

Chris and Lew

The Ethiopian sours up what could've been a 5-star Indonesian dark roast.

2/9/2016

Tyler

Enjoyed the fruit flavours in this coffee

2/8/2016

Matthew

enjoyed this blend

2/6/2016

Celina

i love mocha! smells and tastes great!

2/4/2016

Carrie

Delicious!

2/3/2016

Tom

fair, not special

2/2/2016

Deborah

Not for me.

2/2/2016

April

Balanced cup of joe.

2/2/2016

Tyler

good balance of boldness and body

2/2/2016

Christine

This was ok, but not our favorite.

2/1/2016

Sandra

It's okay, but maybe not the best. I don't normally get beans from the Sumatra/Java area. I will probably finish what we have, but I would not want this again.

2/1/2016

Katie

Nice a dark, deep flavors-we liked it!

2/1/2016

Thomas

Very nice, smooth, dark roast. Was concerned about overwhelming mocha flavor but this is just right. An excellent dark roast.

2/1/2016

Andrew

I liked this more than I expected. The Mocha tones were very nice.

2/1/2016

Bob

I had mistakenly reviewed this one as opposed to Corsica. I really enjoyed this coffee, maybe a bit less than Topeca, but it was close!

2/1/2016

Eileen

I'm not usually into mocha but this one was inoffensive with the chocolate, and the coffee part was delicious.

2/1/2016

John

A little earthier than I prefer, but very bold and flavorful.

1/31/2016

Daniel

A little too strong/dark for me. Still good, but I'd prefer something a little lighter with berry or fruit notes mixed in rather than the dark bittersweet chocolate and spices that's in this coffee.

1/31/2016

Penny

Good taste, but not something I would drink daily.

1/31/2016

Ryne

Four-and-a-half stars. It was good. - Leslie Walczak

1/31/2016

Christopher

Using our Aeropress, this was our favorite cup of coffee to date. It was very smooth and creamy without any lingering aftertaste. We would like to receive more of these types of coffee beans.

1/30/2016

Brennan

Bland and boring

1/30/2016

Elizabeth

Excellent excellent coffee. I like Indonesian coffee and this one was a great blend of flavors that were intense but not overpowering.

1/30/2016

Mike & Ann

Really liked this one. Like the medium roasts better than light or dark.

1/30/2016

Brianna

I like the taste, but wish it was bolder/more full

1/28/2016

Erin

This was good and very drinkable. Just way too mild for me.

1/28/2016

Ben

Way to dark for me....ROAST IT DEAD!

1/28/2016

Elise

Its a very good "standard" coffee for me, like it tastes like exactly what I want my coffee to taste like, except that I also really enjoy the more unique flavors I got from the Topeca/Anodyne samples. I really like when theres a bit of fruitiness, and this has a little of that, but its more just a really good balanced cup. Nothing wrong with that, I just think I wouldn't want this all the time!

1/28/2016

Shelley and Dale

Very good, would rate it 9 out of 10

1/28/2016

Laurel

Nice flavor! Strong w/o bitterness.

1/27/2016

Not great. Weak and flat tasting

1/27/2016

Evan

I did like this quite a bit, just not as much as the anodyne coffee.

1/27/2016

John

Too dark for me

1/27/2016

Danielle & Theo

Smooth and tasty.

1/26/2016

Joel & Madelene

This is delicious. A top flavor layer that is complex, spicy, interesting, yet with deep, prune-y and chocolate notes underlying it. Dark enough to stay comforting, but not too dark that its various notes are roasted away and you're left with a flat, burnt taste. Good balance.

1/26/2016

arin

have had this one a couple times. My wife liked it. I thought it was pretty good, but i ended up just brewing all of the beans from Anodyne first, because I just loved it so much. the cup smelled of cedar, and there was no doubt about that. It wasn't memorable for me, so i can't recall loving or hating it. I give it 4 stars, but probably closer to 3 for me.

1/26/2016

Travis

My favorite of the sample pack. Nice medium roast, chocolatey, hit both notes in a strong dark coffee I like but light enough to have more complexity than a dark roast.

1/25/2016

Clark

Good flavor, not as bold as I prefer.

1/25/2016

Rebecca

Really good - could go for a coffee with a slightly darker roast, though.

1/25/2016

Nice aroma, there were multiple tastes but nothing distinctive. Smooth and non bitter.

1/25/2016

Clint

Good, but a little dark for my taste

1/24/2016

Priscila

I liked the round full bodied flavor that gave it a comforting and warming sensation

1/24/2016

Rachel

Very good. I am loving this coffee on the go during my morning commute. I'm interested to try to in a French press. For me, it's a bit more bold than the other mocha Java organic which I like! It's a close second to my la colombe

1/24/2016

Gisele and Steve

Not a fan of mocha notes in coffee

1/24/2016

Mary

Not as complex as it sounds, but a good cup of coffee.

1/23/2016

Cindy

Great semi-spicy flavor!

1/23/2016

Oscar

This was pretty good.

1/23/2016

Dillon

Pretty good, I enjoyed the smoky, bitter sweet chocolate taste this coffee has. I couldn't pick up on any fruit notes in it though. It had a nice full body imo. Along with a lingering smoky aftertaste with is fine with me.

1/23/2016

Shari

This was a nice blend. It was actually slightly lighter tasty than I was anticipating, though.

1/23/2016

Matt

My favorite of the sampler pack.Not as roasty but lots of chocolate and toffee. Great body and finish.

1/22/2016

Casey

Really liked this one! It had a little bit of a burnt taste, but I liked that it seemed a more smooth and didn't seem very acidic.

1/22/2016

Brian

Good balance between fruity and chocolatey. A bit light for my taste, but a decent cup.

1/22/2016

Gabriela

I expected this coffee to be a little stronger. The flavor is great, but I I drank 2 cups to get me going.

1/21/2016

Amber

Very good. I enjoyed this one much more than anticipated.

1/21/2016

Jonathan

This may have been my favorite batch from Mistobox so far. Unbelievable flavors, and really enjoyed this. LOVE LOVE LOVE Equator Coffee.

1/20/2016

Audrey

Really enjoyed this! Sweet/bold

1/20/2016

Susan

Loved it

1/20/2016

Nicolas

This was my favorite of the 4. Nice taste with a smooth finish and great flavor.

1/20/2016

Steven Childers

Ok coffee, just not my roast preference. Perhaps I should try it as a french press. I mainly brew with a chemex.

1/20/2016

Paul and Michele

Although this is good, we really don't like mocha flavored coffee in the morning.

1/19/2016

This was more bold and that's my preference

1/19/2016

John

A really good espresso. Too far on the nutty side for our tastes, but a solid cup nonetheless.

1/19/2016

Carol & Terry

Initial aroma was "different" and not entirely pleasing. Flavor was good, but not great.

1/19/2016

Sean

Was good but little harsh on finish. Smoother is better. Great bouquet though.

This was a close second to my favorite from the first shipment. Nice dark roast with good smooth flavor.

1/18/2016

I agree with Victoria, to mild and sweet for my taste .

1/18/2016

Victoria

Too sweet for my tastes, though it may be because of how I prepare my coffee. :)

1/18/2016

Amber

Love it! has lots to taste... not sure I understand all the depth but thats why I like it. Keeps me coming back for more.

1/18/2016

Josh

Very good! Stronger chocolate aroma than flavor.

1/18/2016

Christina

not fond of chocolate taste for morning coffee

1/18/2016

Betty

Off taste, did not enjoy

1/18/2016

SAM

A slightly darker roast than I prefer. Flavors a bit muted/muddy, in my opinion.

1/17/2016

Patti

I know this isn't exactly 'flavored' coffee but I don't like flavored coffee. I wouldn't buy it

1/17/2016

thomas

Medium roast, heavy fruit and spice in a complicated palate, good as a brew coffee but does not stand up well to added flavors. Not suitable for espresso at this roast level. Might be better as a darker roast.

1/17/2016

Ellyn

Tasty, but too crisped in the roast for my liking.

1/17/2016

Emily

We liked this. Mild and smooth.

1/17/2016

K

Blisteringly good dark roast, inky, complex and not shy.

1/16/2016

Mark

Neither dynamic nor complex. Rather, burnt and dead.

1/16/2016

Seth

Deliciously rich, yet on the lighter side of dark...

1/16/2016

Carolyn

This blend was too nutty for me.

1/16/2016

David and Polly

Smooth, rounded flavor, but no real character. Disappointing, because we had high expectations of this one.

1/16/2016

John

Too dark and over-roasted for my taste.

1/15/2016

Darcy

Tasted and looked kind of muddy. Had a chocolate taste, which I didn't like.

1/15/2016

teri

too light

1/14/2016

Mark

Complex and long finish, my favorite of the trial blends.

1/14/2016

Lindy

Weak not strong enough

1/14/2016

Michael

Not bad. I've like it but assume you can do better if we're after a decent Mocha Java,

1/13/2016

Makathe

amazing in an aeropress

1/13/2016

John and Holly

Did not like this one at all.. Way too earthy and bitter for our taste.

1/13/2016

Ian

I was intrigued by this coffee, as I love many Ethiopians, and enjoy natural processed from time to time. In the end though, my distaste for the Indonesians prevailed. I felt like the earthy Indonesian flavors were overpowering, and the Ethiopian flavors just ended up tasting out of place. Not my cup.

1/13/2016

Mark&Margie

We really like this one with the chocolatey taste.

1/13/2016

Collin

It's a bit too dark and bold but I enjoy the complex after taste.

1/12/2016

Kimberly

Loved it!

1/12/2016

Derek

Was a bit heavy for my taste. Not bad, and perhaps it could have benefitted from a higher water-to-grounds ratio. Enjoyed trying it, but probably wouldn't buy.

1/11/2016

Megan

I really appreciated the mocha java notes to this one. It really brought out my eyes.

1/11/2016

Hillary

Just perfect. Drinkable and full of flavor.

1/11/2016

Tran

Normally, I like dark roast from Asia, but this blend is just ok. It's not as great as I expected. The bitterness overwhelmed the complex flavors. Maybe, I have gotten used to pour overs with medium roast and can't enjoy the acidity as well as the darker note of these beans.

1/11/2016

Neely

this coffee was undrinkable. i definitely picked up on the cedar flavor and i'm not a fan.

1/11/2016

Jean

Nice mild flavor, not robust nor acidic. A good coffee to follow a meal.

1/11/2016

Craig

Wish there was more chocolate notes found the other flavors to ove rpower

1/10/2016

Randolfo

This is a great coffee, I enjoyed its dark coffee taste, it's bittersweet and chocolate taste is great , I liked that it's bittersweet taste is not very strong but medium and in the medium of the bittersweet it has also a tasty acidity.

1/10/2016

Joel

The complexity of the aroma cannot be overstated. Love this blend exotic woods ebony and cedar. Chocolate and smoke of a fruit wood fire.

1/10/2016

Kevin

just ok

1/10/2016

Burnie

like the flavorfulness. Possible to also get a more heavy roasted-ness to it?

1/10/2016

Elisa

Like this a lot but prefer the Peru Cenfrocafe (one can't help but compare, right?).

1/10/2016

Chet and Barbara

we like this the best - we want more

1/10/2016

Kristen

This was my favorite.

1/10/2016

Bryce & Bekah

Bitter with a semi-complex taste. Not an everyday coffee but enjoyable.

1/9/2016

Rebecca

Very strong Chocolate covered cherry.

1/9/2016

Reid and Barbara

This coffee was Barbara's favorite so far and I enjoyed it immensely as well. I didn't think I would like the nutmeg aspect but it was very smooth and medium body.

1/9/2016

Steve and Margery

Not as intense as the dark coffees we tend to like best, but Steve really liked the chocolate flavor and the smoothness.

1/9/2016

Douglas

Makes an exceptional espresso; well balanced and smooth. The best out of the discovery box.

1/9/2016

Sarah

I like the bittersweet notes and lack of fruity-ness

1/8/2016

Keiske

In general, a chocolaty spicy "sometimes" coffee that's easy to drink. As a PRESS, it's a medium roast with hints of chocolate and spices. Add Milk & Sugar, and the chocolate comes clearly through. As a POUROVER, it taste more like a dark roast (without any oiliness) but you lose all nuances of chocolate and spices; even with a little M&S, you lose the nuances of flavor and it becomes a flat cup of uninteresting coffee. As a COLD BREW, it changes dramatically, and it strangely doesn't taste like coffee; it tastes like something else. And when you add M&S, you find out what: it tastes more like a coffee milk chocolate. And the problem with that is, it doesn't taste like great coffee. As a Cold Brew with M&S, it's a tasty cold drink, but if it's coffee you're after, drink this as a Press with M&S.

1/8/2016

John and Connie

Good breakfast coffee

1/8/2016

Sandra

Didn't get too much of the mocha flavor but still a good coffee.

1/8/2016

Tara

I didn't plan to like this, but I actually did! Nice, bold flavor, not too much chocolate

1/8/2016

Sara-Anne

Round, smooth, fresh

1/8/2016

Mom and Dad

Mom liked this best!

1/7/2016

Greg

By far the best coffee in the discovery pack I received. Strong hints of chocolate and even balanced nuttiness. Smooth to the last drop! Equally pleased in espresso and drip applications.

1/7/2016

Sara

Great taste and smell.

1/6/2016

1/6/2016

Aurelie

There originally was a quiz that helped make sure you got the type of coffee you liked and made sure you didnt get what you didn't like, I don't know what happened to that quiz but it seems to be gone and the coffee I received was bitter, very earthy, and not anything special. Considering that the previous type of box, with 4 smaller types of coffee, is gone, it is disappointed to feel obligated to finish a coffee I dont like, who doesn't fit my taste, considering that this is it for my month, and considering how much I paid for it.

1/6/2016

Tracy

Not as good as the Peru Cenfrocafe, strangely enough. But definitely worth a second cup haha.

1/6/2016

James

This is a good coffee but a it's a bit on the bitter side.

1/6/2016

Esmeralda

Not what I expected. After reading the tasting notes on this blend, I was expecting more. The blend just didn't do it for me.

1/6/2016

Sara

really good, loved the subtle flavors!

1/6/2016

Joey

Has a good flavor with a fruity taste. I enjoyed this one!

1/6/2016

William

Great in the French Press

1/6/2016

Julie

dont like flavored

1/6/2016

Jeffrey

Really, really tasty. A great later of the day coffee.

1/5/2016

Robin

Loved this one, for such a big bold coffee there is allot of personality that still comes through, that you lose with some others. It was a perfect after dinner coffee, we both very much enjoyed. ​

1/5/2016

Shelly

Nice, but maybe not the flavors we expected.

1/5/2016

Lydia

Definitely not a bad cup of coffee. Out of the 2 of 4 coffees in my Discovery box thus far, I prefer this to the La Colombe Corsica blend; still with chocolate notes, but a little less of a smoky finish and without bitter notes. The Ethiopian fruity notes really shine through on this blend - personally, I like my coffees a little less fruity; and am not typically a fan of Ethiopian coffees as such. Overall, I liked this blend, but wouldn't be my go too choice.

1/5/2016

James

Great taste and flavor

1/5/2016

Amanda

nice warm coffee flavor, very pleasing and creamy

1/5/2016

Hannah

Very smooth, even its aftertaste. Was pleasantly surprised. Tastes rich, but in a subtle way with a hint of nuttiness. May be my new favorite morning coffee.

1/5/2016

Russell & Will

it def has some nice notes on the front end, but then it sort of…poops out on the palate. sweetness is good, not enough acidity;. on the darker side of what we like, but not too dark

1/5/2016

Josh

Loved the fruity finish and complexity. One of my favorites from the box thus far.

1/5/2016

Mark & Fran

Out of the four samples we received in our intro box, this was our favorite. Good flavor.

1/5/2016

Katelyn

We really wanted to love this one with a name like Mocha Java, but the mocha didn't really step forward for us on this one.

1/4/2016

patty

just OK...not a "good morning" cup of coffee

1/4/2016

Michaela

too dark

1/4/2016

Michael

Nice, robust, and flavorful.

1/4/2016

Dean

Not my cup of "tea" Not fond of chocolate in coffee

1/4/2016

John & Judy

Third best of the four,

1/4/2016

Meghann

I love that this has Ethiopian beans in it. I really love the fruityness that is brought the coffee from it. However, I am not really a fan of this coffee

1/4/2016

Jared

Very good. Bold and good flavor.

1/3/2016

Elizabeth

I liked the roast but the mocha seemed a little bitter

1/3/2016

Mark

Both my wife and I liked this one. It was a good medium roast without too much bitterness.

1/3/2016

Danica

Too light

1/3/2016

Nathan

complex flavors with a lighter cup of coffee. very nice.

1/3/2016

Heather and Beth

Floral in flavor

1/3/2016

Laurie

This one is my favorite so far. I'm a cream and sugar girl but I don't need much of either with this blend.

1/2/2016

Kati

Just about as dark as i would ever go. Did taste a little bit of the roast once it cooled down but overall a good blend that might do well as a SO espresso.Thanks

1/2/2016

Jerry

Good flavor but seems weak

1/2/2016

Dan

Tasted wonderful in both french press and as espresso, very well rounded

1/2/2016

Eric

This was well balanced and easy to enjoy. No complaints, but I'm comparing these 4 coffees against each other and I preferred the La Colombe coffee to this one.

1/2/2016

Nathan

spice is really nice here

1/2/2016

Sarah

This was too light for me. I prefer a more full-bodied flavor. The fruitiness at the end made it taste a bit watery since there wasn't anything rounding it out.

1/2/2016

Keith

Very good, 2nd best of 4

1/2/2016

Travis

I'm not sure if our bag had spoiled for some reason but this was terrible. I couldn't finish one cup it tasted so bad.

1/2/2016

Jeralee

Smelled unpleasant

1/1/2016

Steve

Loved it

1/1/2016

Reiley

This is a nice blend. A little spicy and not to bold. Not sure that it would be my go to morning coffee or not. I prefer a coffee that "smacks you in the face" usually for the morning. However for a nice afternoon pick me up or a treat after supper, this is the coffee.

1/1/2016

Steve

This coffee was good, for sure, but it wasn't our favorite. For me, it had too much a fruity finish.

12/31/2015

Gramps & Lin

Good opening note. Full taste, hint of citrus to my palette. Could use a smokier aftertaste.

12/31/2015

John

Nice for an occasional cup, but this was my least favorite from the sampler. Too much spiciness for me. I am not generally fond of Indonesian coffees: I find them syrupy and that was the case here.

12/31/2015

Danny

A little flat, not bright enough

12/31/2015

Lynn and Guerry

rich taste, medium body and a nice complexity. we would drink this again.

12/31/2015

Charlene

This was my second favorite coffee out of the sample box I received. It embodied nearly everything I've traditionally thought a coffee should be... however, it wasn't quite as aromatic as the La Colombe Corsica Blend.This is a coffee I believe I would drink any time of day, but I did not feel a "need" for a second cup immediately.

12/31/2015

Adam

Interesting but tasted burnt.

12/30/2015

Patricia

Moderately bold- suited our taste preference

12/30/2015

AMBER

This one is more like it. I'm reserving the option of giving this one five stars, but I haven't tried the others and I want to make sure I don't like one of the others better. I can drink this coffee without creamer in a pinch. Its smooth and has a wonderful aroma. Even brewed kind of strong (the way I like it. See-through coffee is for chumps) it wasn't excessively bitter or acidic.

12/30/2015

Tom

This is my favorite region blended with my least favorite region.The Indonesian overwhelms the Ethiopian and the fruit I've come to love and expect from an Ethiopian disappear behind the earthy flavor of the Indonesian.Overall a fairly good cup, but I wouldn't buy it again based on my preferences.

12/30/2015

Joel

Very enjoyable. Spices and dark fruit make for a complex cup.

12/30/2015

Deric

This was a copy that was absolutely amazing and would be a coffee that I would order on a daily basis.

12/30/2015

Justin

coffee was lighter than I prefer.

12/30/2015

Kent

Very very light. Only good for black coffee.

12/30/2015

Sarah

I think when I made this I had the wrong bean to water ratio, and it turned out bitter. Usually I like mocha flavors.

12/30/2015

Jesse

Lots of fruit taste as to be expected by an Ethiopian!! Very complex and great oils leading to always wanting another sip.

12/29/2015

Hannah

ok, for a medium roast

12/29/2015

Eno

A little to light for me. Not full enough in flavor.

12/29/2015

Kyle

Loved the flavor

12/29/2015

Daniel

The coffee notes described were very accurate and I enjoyed drinking this coffee blend.

12/28/2015

Carisa

I liked this one, it was my favorite of the three. It is just a little bit bitter. The flavor is different, but in a good way.

12/28/2015

Benjamin

Complex flavor.

12/28/2015

Brendon

Good blend, nice morning coffee. I take milk in my coffee on occasion, and this hit the spot.

Roasted longer for my preferences for brew, but the roast was balanced and the blend was complimentary. I am partial to African coffees and the roastery's history of keeping women in the ranks, which helps too!

12/26/2015

Ryan

A pleasant blend. All the coffees in my sample box were amazingly delicious. So, being 3rd out of 4 samples is not bad. I could drink this coffee all day!

12/25/2015

Patrick

Very nice blend. Pronounced woody flavor with hints of chocolate in the aftertaste. Smooth, but thin, body.

12/25/2015

Ren & Stephanie

Not a fan of blends or bold coffee. Didn't like it.

12/23/2015

John

Kind of a plain jane flavor.

12/23/2015

Sandy

Was very good. Would have liked a bit more sweetness out of it.

12/22/2015

Jonathan

This is a nice cup of coffee. Definitely can imagine Lorelai Gilmore demanding Luke for a second cup-kind of thing. It's warm and inviting. I like the balance of dark fruit and chocolate/woodsy notes, though the chocolate/woodsy notes definitely stand out more. Even though I enjoy lighter roasts and lean more towards coffees like Ethiopean, Kenyan, and Panama single origins, there's still place for a coffee like this from time to time.

12/21/2015

Mandy

Not sure why I was sent this coffee as I requested only single origins and specifically called out cedar as a taste that I dislike. Roast is much darker than I prefer. Giving the rest of this one away.

12/19/2015

Ajay

This was a really rich, complex coffee. My coffee craving was satisfied after just half a mug of this coffee. I liked the sweet aftertaste.

nice bold coffee, not too strong or weak at all. could taste some chocolate notes and had nice aftertastes

12/8/2015

ashley

This coffee is amazing. Great flavor and bold. I am very happy with this choice. It's can be a bit too sweet if I use too much creamer. Which is nice because I can drink more of the flavor of the coffee than creamer these day :)

12/8/2015

Alexandra & David

Better than the La Colombe, but still too darkly roasted for our tastes. It tasted slightly burned, more like a standard Italian roast.

12/6/2015

ALEX

Drinks darker and more robust than I expected. Indonesian flavors tend to dominate the African beans in this blend, giving the earthy, bittersweet chocolate note it's time to shine. This bag has complexity because of the dual blend but they join together rather than seeming individualized. Great cup for milk takers, too, as it's a warm and rewarding cup.

12/6/2015

Jeremy

I love a great coffee with a good kick to go with it and this....this did all that and some!

This coffee worked really well with French press, drip cone, and the espresso Brikka. This was what I had in mind in terms of an all-around coffee in that changing the brewing method only really brought out certain aspects of the blend than others while not really affecting the taste of the coffee itself. Really good mouthfeel and aftertaste lasted longer than expected.

11/26/2015

Alan

Pretty good, improves as the coffee cools to a point, though

11/26/2015

Richard

Had a strongish taste that wasn't unpleasant, but somehow just did not care for it. There was a little bit (acidic?) to it that I did not like.

11/23/2015

Steven

Made this coffee using a 15 to 1 ration in my chemex, let it bloom for 25 seconds, slowly poured inside out, and agitated/stirred after the last of the water. The resulting cup was well balanced with a smoky tobacco, dark cacao body and very little acidity on the finish. A very drinkable cup, not overly complex.

11/22/2015

Paul

Bitter sawdust

11/16/2015

Lucas

This coffee was good, but it lacked tasty flavors that i enjoy in my cup. The aroma was very good however.

11/13/2015

Miranda

This was the best coffee I've brewed in a long time! I love the flavor. It reminds me of one of my all time favorites - Kauai.

11/12/2015

Julia

Another bold, smooth cup with hints of cacao. Very pleasant way to start the day!

11/1/2015

Benjamin

This is very delicious hot and cold. It is strong but not stomach turning bitter. So far I have not brewed a full strength pot but am looking forward to doing so.(Update) I was able to get around to brewing a full strength pot of coffee and loved it. I am very pleased.

10/31/2015

Rachel

After making this 3 times I ended up throwing the beans out. It was exceptionally bitter, even after adding sweetener. Maybe it was just me or maybe the roast wasn't the best choice for french press but I did not enjoy this bag

10/26/2015

Tamara

Really like this but not as much as the one by Noble.

10/24/2015

Mark

This tastes like cheap coffee with unnatural flavoring

10/17/2015

Ashley

Not their best blend. A little watery for our tastes.

9/8/2015

Laura

A little too rich for my liking, almost had a bitter after-taste.

9/7/2015

BLAKE

maybe it is the fruit or spice flavors that we don't appreciate in our coffee? Could that be possible from the others that we have not enjoyed?

8/26/2015

Rachel

This blend surprised me a bit. While the beans were lighter in color, the brewed coffee was darker and more smoky than I expected. It smelled a bit like cigars, but the taste was smooth and almost like caramel. This was not my top pick, but I would enjoy this blend again.
